Bachpan (COMPLETED)

3

Noor wiped her tears and went inside the school campus. Her classmate, Faisal, was standing in the classroom door.

Faisal- Hello Noor! Kaisi ho?
              (Hello Noor! How are you?)

Noor- Tumhein kya karna hai?
            ( What you have to do with me?)

Faisal- Kuch nahi. As a friend puch raha tha.
            ( Nothing, I was asking just as a friend.)

Noor- Tumse kisne kaha ki mai tumhari friend hu?
            ( Who said that I'm your friend?)

Faisal- Sorry!

 Noor went away from there.

                                                                           FAROOQI VILLA

Umair reached home. He went inside and sat on the sofa with Ahad and Rasheed. They were talking about Noor but Almeer was nowhere to be seen in the drawing room.

Umair- Almeer kaha hai?
              (Where is Almeer?)

Ahad- Beta wo lawn me hai. [TO RASHEED] Ji bhai fir niqah ki tareekh kab final karein?
            ( He's in the lawn. [to rasheed] when we'll finalize the date for niqah?)

Umair- Kiska niqah abba?
              ( Whose niqah dad?)

Ahad- Noor or Almeer ka.
              (Noor and Almeer's)

Umair- Ye kya baat kar rahe hai abba?
               ( What are you talking about dad?)

Ahad- Beta tum jao abhi. Bado ke muamlat mein dakhal-andaazi mat karo.
            (You go from here for now. Don't interfere in elders matter.)

Umair's blood was boiling. He drank his anger for the sake of his father's image and head towards Almeer.

Umair- Almeer!

Almeer- Kya hua hai Umair bhai kyu chilla rahe hai?
              ( What happened Umair brother, why are you shouting)

Umair- Tumhe pata bhi hai waha mere or tumhare walid kya planning bana rahe hai!
            ( Are you aware of the planning our fathers are making there?)

Almeer- Kya hora hai batao bhi.
               ( What is happening tell now!)

Umair- Pehle mujhe ye batao tum hall se bahir khud aye ho ya un dono ne tumhe bahir jane kaha?
(Firstly, you tell me you came out of the hall by yourself or they asked you to go outside?)

Almeer- Abba ne bheja tha
               ( Dad asked me to go outside.)

Umair- Waha tumhare nikah ki tayari ho rahi hai.
              ( Your nikah plannings are going on there.)

Almeer- Kya? Mera niqah! Kab kaise kiske sath?
              ( What? My niqah! When, how, with whom?)

Umair- Meri behen, Noor ke sath!
            (With my sister, Noor!)

Almeer- Abba kaha hai?
              ( Where is dad?)

Umair- Wahi jaha tum chhodke aaye ho.
            ( There, where you left him)

Almeer went inside running.

Umair- Almeer ruko meri baat suno.
             ( Almeer wait listen to me)

Almeer- Kya sunu bhai?
              (What I should listen bro?)

Umair- Tum yaha baitho aaram se. Ameena bi paani layein. Mai jaanta hu tumhe gussa aaraha hai. Lekin apne baba ki izzat ke khatir apna gussa kaaboo mein rakho. Jab tum ghar chale jaoge mai abba se baat karunga. Mai samajhta hu yaar tum dono hi chhote ho abhi. Padhai ki umr hai tumhari.
( You sit here. Ameena Bi, bring water. I know you're angry. But for your father's image's sake control your anger. I'll talk to dad when you'll go home. I understand dude you both are children now. It is your age to study.)

Almeer- Bhai dekhein! Bura mat maaniyega. Lekin mai jab aaya tha tab maine Noor ko dekha tha. Wo mujhe pasand aai. Mujhe shaadi se koi aitraaz nahi hai. Mai zarur karunga usse shadi par abhi na mai settled hu or na hi Noor ki umr hai. School jati hai wo.
( Bro see! Don't mind but when I came here I saw Noor. Even I liked her. I don't have any problem in marrying her. I'll surely marry her but not now. Neither I'm settled and nor she is young enough for marriage. She's a school student.)

Umair- Matlab tum kahna kya chahte ho? Tum Noor ko pasand karte ho?
( What do you mean? You like Noor?)

Almeer- Jii (Yes)

Umair- Tumhe abhi isi waqt niqah karne me koi aitraz nahi hai?
(You don't have any problem in marrying her right now?)

Almeer- Nahi bhai! Mai usse niqah karna chahta hu lekin ek sahi waqt par jo ki abhi nahi hai. Par agar abhi meri or uski shadi ho bhi jayegi hamare walidain ki marzi se , to bhi mai Noor ko utne hi pyar se rakhunga jitna legal age me rakhta.
( No bro! I wanna marry her but in appropriate time which is not now. Even If we get married now by the wishes of our parents, I'll keep Noor with the same love I'd have given her in legal age marriage.)

Umair- Wo sab to theek hai. Par meri behen Noor abhi padhna chahti hai. Or mai bhi uska sath dunga. Aajkal ke zamane mein padhai sabke lie zaruri hai fir chahe ladka ho ya ladki.
( That is all okay. But my sister Noor wants to study and I'll support him no matter what. Education is very important for everyone. Doesn't matter if the student is male or female.)

Almeer- Ji bhai mai samajhta hu iss baat ko.
( Yes bro I understand.)

Umair asked him to calm himself down for now and to talk to his father patiently. They both enjoyed coffee. Then, Rasheed and Almeer head towards the Shah House.
